I dug this on the most amazing earthworks I’ve ever ever seen out in the woods unprotected. They were about 7’ high with artillery platforms, powder magazine dugout and trenches all around them still intact. This was dug on the outside slope near the top of the works. At first I thought maybe it was part of a pocket watch but because it’s ferrous I’m not sure. I also dug several bullets, some buttons, percussion caps and square nails in the area of the magazine. There was no modern trash at all on or around the earthworks so I am confident that this is from the period. Any thoughts on what it might be?
